Eli Segal Fellowship

The Corporation for National and Community Service invites former AmeriCorps members to apply for the Eli Segal Fellowship, a year-long leadership opportunity to help advance national service policy, operations, and strategy at the agency’s headquarters in the nation’s capital. The fellowship is open to AmeriCorps alumni who demonstrate exceptional leadership, dedication to national service and its ideals, a social entrepreneurial spirit, and effective communication and analytical skills. Fellows carry out projects, advance their career development, and gain a first-hand understanding of national service and the workings of a federal agency. Eligible applicants for the fellowship include all AmeriCorps alums who served full-time in the past three years who will be available to serve at Corporation headquarters starting in December 2010. The selected Eli Segal Fellow will work directly with the Director of AmeriCorps and closely with the office of the CEO, participating in high level meetings, strategic planning, and other important work to advance the agency’s mission at a time of expansion and innovation for national service. The fellowship includes a $27,079 salary, with full benefits, for a 13 month term. The deadline to apply for the Eli Segal Fellowship is October 8, 2010.
